About the game
In 3 to 4 Headed Monster, each player controls the head of a very conflicted monster. Every round, players will discuss who should be in control of the monster's legs for the round. Once two players agree that they will be in control, they submit their cards, which are verified by a non-participating head, and everyone finds out whether the monster is looking for serenity... or looking for a fight! The game is over when one faction (peaceful head vs. destructive heads) manages to have control of the monster for too many rounds. (The number of rounds required depends upon the faction.)
